Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Protective Cover (Back)

The Tilta Illusion rear protective cover is a magnetic cover for the back of Tilta Illusion magnetic filters — the side the filter otherwise sits on the adapter ring with. It attaches magnetically to a single filter or to a whole stacked and locked filter stack and protects the glass from dust, fingerprints and scratches in transit, even without a pouch. Together with the front cover (sold separately) it forms a closed, compact cylinder.

The Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Protective Cover (Back), TF-MF-BPC, is the rear protective cover for Illusion magnetic filters: it clicks magnetically onto the back of a filter or filter stack and protects it on the road.

Protective cover for the Illusion magnetic filter

The protective cover sits on a Tilta Illusion magnetic filter just like the filter sits on the adapter ring — magnetically, in one move. It fits a single filter as well as a whole filter stack that is magnetically stacked and locked together, and protects the glass from dust, fingerprints and scratches even when the stack travels without a pouch.

Front and rear cover

The system has two covers: the front one (TF-MF-FPC) covers the front glass and has a pinch grip like a classic lens cap, the rear one (TF-MF-BPC) covers the back of the filter, the side that otherwise sits on the ring. With both covers the filter stack is closed on both sides and travels in the bag as one compact cylinder.

Rear cover on the filter stack

The rear protective cover closes the magnetically stacked Illusion filter stack from behind — where the magnetic ring of the last filter would otherwise stay exposed. The stack then lies flat in the bag with nothing scratching it.

Things to keep in mind

The rear cover covers only the back of the filter. The front glass is protected by the front cover (TF-MF-FPC), sold separately — with an Illusion filter mounted, the lens's original cap no longer fits. The carrying pouch for the filters is sold separately.

The Tilta Illusion Magnetic system

The system is built on the adapter ring on the lens and the Tilta Illusion magnetic filters that click onto it: the CPL circular polariser, its variants with a 5-stop ND and with Black Mist 1/4, the VND adapter for the CPL, a UV filter, and the Creator Kit and Ultimate Kit sets. The front and rear covers close the filter stack for travel.
